In honor of my new granddaughter....
Today is our St. George's Day Tea at church. Yesterday afternoon I made three batches of Madeleines to take for my cookie offering. I couldn't find our madeleine pan so yesterday morning I set out at 0600 to find one - by 0900 I hit three grocery stores with no luck. After a chat with friend, googled the pan, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond had them. We have a store a few miles from me and there I was, in business. The recipe is quite easy but 16 minutes was too long, cut the time back a minute, and they came out perfect. The overly brown ones Nancy took to work last night and they were a hit.
I'll be bringing a French cookie to an English tea - hope they don't mind.

About This Recipe
"Delicious and soft French cookies. The recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine (January 2000). "This cookie launched a thousand memories — and a literary masterpiece — for Marcel Proust. The group enjoys madeleines with tea, just as the narrator did in Swann’s Way." Uses a special madeleine pan (a metal mold with scallop-shaped indentations, sold at cookware stores)."
